Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 58

The other people were a little surprised to hear that.

August explained without haste, ’Yesterday I lost and was splashed with two buckets of water, so I was a bit reluctant.Today, to wash away the shame of the last time, I suggest following the grouping of yesterday, with two people in a team to compete again."

When he said so, some people agreed, but some female colleagues scowled and didn’t agree with him.

If the grouping was the same as yesterday, August would be grouped with Lucia again.

Naturally, they were not happy about But a few rowdy male colleagues led by Guy did not realize this.

They clapped their hands and said they want to have another game with August.

Even if the female colleagues were reluctant, they couldn’t say anything in front of August now, so they glanced at Lucia a few times with discontent, and then dispersed wanly.

Emma was standing right beside Lucia and touched her excitedly, winking at her frantically.

Lucia naturally understood what she meant.

She smiled a little embarrassed, and once she looked up, she saw August standing on the shore watching her.

She knew that August had done all that for her.

She stepped forward but was unconsciously nervous.

August’s voice rang in her ears, "Let’s go?"

Lucia nodded, followed his steps, and walked to the boarding port on the shore.

When all the teams were on board, the staff looked at the time and reminded, "The race will last one hour in total.Meet here after one hour and the team with the most red flags wins."

After the staff made clear the rules, everyone began to start the electric boat to spread out to the vast lake after hearing a whistle from the staff.

August sat at the bow of the boat, Lucia sat behind him and could smell his faint fragrance.

In a short while, they drove the boat to the forefront.

Lucia looked at the surrounding scenery and slowly relaxed.

There was no communication between them.

After a while, August finally turned his head slightly and took the initiative to ask her, "Do you want to have a try?"

Seeing August was steering the electric boat, Lucia suddenly had some interest, "Can I try it?"

"Come here."

Lucia carefully moved forward to August.

The space at the front of the boat was relatively small, and once she went over and sat side by side with him, it seemed a bit crowded.

Seeing Lucia’s hesitation, August said, "Give me your hand."

Lucia reached out obediently.

Immediately afterward, August gently grabbed her hand and instructed her to grab the steering wheel.

August patiently instructed her, "Put your foot here.The pedal on the left is for backing up and the pedal on the right is the 1 throttle for forwarding.Let it go when you stop the boat, understand?"

Lucia repeated it in his mind, nodded, and tried to step on the throttle.

Sure enough, the boat suddenly picked up speed and shot ahead.

The man’s voice rang in her ears, "Yes, that’s it.Hold the steering wheel steady.’

Since they were so close together, Lucia could feel the warm spray of his breath on her ear, and then her ears warmed up.

August turned his head, looked at the woman beside him, and called out her name shakily, "Lucia.

There were two reasons that he wanted to follow yesterday’s grouping at the shore just now.

One was to ensure her safety and the second was to create time for the two of them to be alone because he had something to say to her, Lucia gripped the steering wheel and looked straight ahead,"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

"If I need your help one day, will you help me?"

Hearing August speak so seriously, she first froze, and then immediately nodded and said with certainty, of course, I will At these words, August sighed with relief as he said in a deep voice, "Actually, I need your right now."

Suddenly, the bow was crooked, and the electric boat crashed straight toward the reeds next to it.

Before his words were finished, August sensed the anomaly and reacted suddenly, so he hurriedly reached out his hand to hold the steering wheel.

After he righted the steering wheel, the ship shook violently.

Out of inertia, Lucia also crashed towards August.

"Bang", Lucia froze.

After a while, she realized that she had somehow turned the steering wheel askew and almost made a big mistake! "So-sorry."

She said subconsciously, and when she turned her head, she saw August was frowning.

"What-what’s wrong?" Lucia asked in a hurry.

Thinking of the crisp crash just now, she looked at the bars on the side of the boat and then at August before responding, "Hit your head? Let me have a look."

August avoided her hand and said in a deep voice, "I’m fine."

It seemed that today was not a good time to tell her the truth.

Lucia was blaming herself in her mind when suddenly, Guy and another male colleague’s boat drove past next to them.

They blew a loud whistle and then waved the little red flag provocatively at them.

Seeing them, Lucia then remembered that it was still a race.

Their boat was in the lead, but Guy’s team had already found a small red flag! August turned his head to look at Lucia and found her staring brightly at the boat in front of him.

He felt some reluctance to tell her these things on such a supposedly joyful occasion and it seemed a bit cruel.

He decided to wait until he got back before talking to her.

It would be a good idea to make it up to her by playing nice with her today.

He asked softly, "Do you want to win?"

Lucia nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

"Okay.Then let’s go for the red flag too!"

The boat slowly approached the bushes and Lucia poked her head in and finally saw a little red in the bushes.

"There’s a red flag there!"

August looked over and saw the red flag.

He slowly lowered the speed of the boat to approach the bush and reached out to pull down the red flag that was stuck in the dirt.

Lucia took the red flag and waved it excitedly, wanting to play even more, "Great! Let’s keep looking for the red flag!"

August smiled crookedly and kept driving the boat Down, they surprisingly found five red flags successfully! Looking at the time, August saw that there were still more than twenty minutes left, so he looked at Lucia beside him and asked, "Do you still want to look for red flags?"

Lucia nodded, "Yes."

This time, they must win! She had given August a drag last time and this time, she would match him well.

August continued to sail, leaving most of the boats behind.

The boat turned left and right around the bush, and Lucia saw another red flag tied to the bush.

"There’s one there!"

The red flag was a little high and it was flanked by mud bogs.

August approached carefully and after taking off the flag, he backed up the boat.

"Buzz-"

For some reason, the boat did not back up but rang a few times.

Lucia froze and asked, "What’s happened?"

August tried to back up again, but the boat still "buzzed" a few times, and did not back up at all.

He tried several times, and the boat seemed to be stuck and didn’t move.

But there was no obstacle around.

August looked at Lucia and said seriously. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"The boat can’t move."

At that, Lucia was a little confused, ’Is it stuck by something?"

"The boat can still move and it’s not stuck."

August felt vaguely uneasy, "Maybe there’s something wrong with the engine."

Hearing him say that, Lucia immediately realized that the situation was more serious than they thought, and she immediately took out her phone, "I’m calling for help"

Before she finished her words, she saw that the cell phone signal on her phone was less than half a bar, and she froze.

The phone had no signal, so how could they ask for help?
